Improbable Research

I have been featured by Improbable Research for my Chinese Satellite Debris tracking Google Earth gizmo. I don’t seem to be able to leave a comment on the page, but I’d like to point out that I did, as the author suggests, create a similar file for the US spy satellite that was shot down. However the satellite was in a lower orbit and there are currently only 12 trackable fragments remaining at time of writing, so you don’t see much.
